HOT AIR BALLOON early morning.

[Mark Toia]

I had to bolt down to Melbourne for a quick shoot this morning, I had about a 20 minute window to shoot within before the sun breached the hills.
I stripped the EPIC down to tiny box with just a lens a RED VOLT and a OLED EVF....
The Epic just keeps impressing me the way its designed so I can shoot 5k RAW image resolution @100 FPS in the dark.
Lens used was a simple 16-35mm Canon. Not my favorite lens, but it still yields good results when in a rush.
Im quite fond of my PL glass... but in this case, I decided to stick with a light weight little ZOOM... at the end of the day, I would not have got any better shots with the PL primes.
And I had no time to be swapping out Primes as I had about 30 different angles I wanted to capture... I got 27 of them in the bag.

Just sharing.... :smile5:

Looks great!! Thx

 

[Richard Luke]

Love that Melbourne morning light.
Close up flame shot is my favourite

Thanks

They're all great, but the fourth from the bottom, that's your money shot. Really like that one. Maybe the second from the bottom with the sun peaking over, that might be also. Very nice!

 

[Mark Toia]

To be honest... Maybe 1 second of one of these shots may go in the TVC... maybe none... We have been shooting for a week and have captured some incredible images for the TVC... these ballon shots were only captured for textures or fillers.
Ill share the final TVC when I edit it next week.
Cheers...

Was actually a bit of fun... For the first time for many years... I had no crew following me around. Was so nice and easy.

 

[David Battistella]

Nice images mark!

is nice to get out there alone once in a while to just shoot. It's a completely different vibe.

Looks great, Mark!

I shot some balloons and had the EPIC up in one not long after getting my EPIC-M. Here's a couple pics: http://www.reduser.net/forum/showthread.php?60039-Jeff-Kilgroe&p=786769&viewfull=1#post786769

I would have loved to get some early, as in still dark, shots! No one was setting up that early though, right at sunrise for us.

 

[Andrew Gentle]

Really beautiful shots, Mark! Keep up the amazing work.

 

[Matthew Scott]

Absolutely beautiful! If you ever need a Melbourne hand, I'm super keen.

 

[Rob Macey]

Beautiful Mark. ISO 320 Me too...

 

[Matt Gottshalk]

Looks sweet. Do you use a variable nd when shooting on the canon glass?
